You are dead on. They relabel, rename and re-propagandize everything. Grassroots, my ass!

What folks don’t know. The war that Republicans have been waging under the radar against minority voters, women, and the middle class.

The GOP uses Orwellian language to promote their agenda, like the Doctor Patient Medical Association (DPMA), another GOP backed group that’s working to repeal the healthcare law.

The Doctor Patient Medical Association (DPMA) and the Patient Power Alliance (PPA) work to repeal health care reform[1] and call themselves a “a nonpartisan association of doctors and patients dedicated to preserving free choice in medicine.”[2] The organization is a member of the National Tea Party Federation[3] and the “American Grassroots Coalition.”[4]
